This webinar will discuss Fading Kitten Syndrome including signs, causes and treatments. With the information provided in the webinar, veterinary technicians will understand these aspects of FKS and be better able to educate clients on how to help kittens by recognizing early signs of fading, taking immediate and appropriate action, and by providing them with proper daily care to prevent the avoidable cases of fading kitten syndrome from ever occuring in the first place.

We’ll discuss how to meet the five freedoms of animal welfare for all animals in our care in affordable, doable ways, such as housing, in-housing enrichment, out-of-housing time, and length of stay. RACE-approved
